Sheridan by Richard Brinsley Sheridan Lyrics

[Chorus]
Sheridan, Sheridan, Sheridan, Sheridan (Sheridan)
Sheridan, Sheridan, Sheridan, (Sheridan)
Full name Richard Sheridan
Middle names Brinsley Butler (ooh)
Irish satirist, don’t forget my name (brr, yuh)
Born on October 30th (ooh)
1751, respect my birth year (brr)
Sheridan, Sheridan, Sheridan

[Verse]
My plays are a fraction of my shit, ooh (it is)
I was the Navy treasurer, (i’m rich)
Won two duels against Matthews, huh? (yeah)
Represent the Whig MP, ooh (huh?)
Theatre is a part of my legacy (yeah)
Wrote my first play at 25, (what?)
Called it The Rivals, produced it nicely (huh?)
But The School for Scandal is my best, precisely (love it!)
Regarded as the greatest COM to date (satire!)
Known for its wit and its comedy (yuh)
After that I went to the government (brr)
Now I’m a part of some British shit (yuh)
Everybody scream, “Five Guinea Fowls” (bribe ‘em)
I never went back to Ireland (yuh)
Wasn’t reelected, followed by debt (hmph)
Passed away but my name ain’t dead yet(what?)
[Chorus]
Sheridan, Sheridan, Sheridan, Sheridan (Sheridan)
Sheridan, Sheridan, Sheridan, (Sheridan)
Full name Richard Sheridan
Middle names Brinsley Butler (ooh)
Irish satirist, don’t forget my name (brr, yuh)
Born on October 30th (ooh)
1751, respect my birth year (brr)
Sheridan, Sheridan, Sheridan
